H-NET: HUMANITIES ON-LINE
=======================================================
H-Net Announces 58 Scholarly Lists for Humanists
& Social Scientists
March 23, 1995 please circulate
A. The Information Revolution is happening now. Dramatic
changes are underway in the electronic communications
infrastructure worldwide, especially the Internet system
that links academics together in a fast, free and friendly
environment. H-Net is an international initiative to
assist scholars to go on-line, using their personal
computers. It operates daily newsletters edited by some
130 scholars in North America, Europe, and the Pacific.
H-Net has financial support from the National Endowment
for the Humanities, and is hosted by Michigan State
University, the University of Illinois-Chicago, and
several other schools and historical societies.
B. H-Net sponsors 58 electronic discussion groups or
"lists" by and for professional scholars in the humanities
and social sciences. Subscribers automatically receive
messages in their computer mailboxes. These messages can be
saved, discarded, downloaded to a PC, copied, printed out,
or relayed to someone else. Best of all, the reader can
immediately REPLY. The lists are email newsletters that are
published daily. Currently our lists have over 24,000
subscribers in 59 countries. They receive an average of
15-60 messages a week. Subscription applications are
solicited from scholars, college professors, researchers,
graduate students, librarians and archivists. Each list is
edited by one or more scholars and has a board of editors.
The editors control the flow of messages and reject flames
and items unsuitable for a scholarly discussion group.
The goals of H-NET lists are to enable scholars to
easily communicate current research and teaching interests;
to discuss new approaches, methods and tools of analysis; to
share information on electronic databases; and to test new
ideas and share comments on current historiography. H-Net
was created to provide a positive, supportive, equalitarian
environment for the friendly exchange of ideas and scholarly
resources. Regular reports from Washington cover
developments that affect the humanities. The lists feature
dialogues in the discipline. They commission original book
and museum reviews, and post job announcements, syllabi,
course outlines, class handouts, bibliographies, listings of
new sources, guides to online library catalogs and archives,
and reports on new software, datasets and cd-roms.
Subscribers write in with questions, comments, and reports,
and sometimes with mini-essays of a page or two. Important
items are stored on our gopher.
